# Qwen2.5 7B Instruct for Telugu: ElChat

This model is built on top of Qwen2.5 7B Instruct adapted for Telugu using 500M target language tokens sampled from MADLAD-400. It has an additional target vocabulary of 10K. The model was trained using the ElChat method.

## Model Details

* **Vocabulary**: This model has an additional target vocabulary of 10K.
* **Target vocabulary initialization**: The target weights of the embedding and LM head were initialized using mean initialization.
* **Training**: This model was continually pre-trained on 500M target language tokens sampled from MADLAD-400.
* **Post-processing**: The model was post-processed using the ElChat method.
